Source: BuddhaSasana: Concise Pali-English Dictionaryrājabhogga : (adj.) fit to be used by a king.
Source: Sutta: The Pali Text Society's Pali-English DictionaryRājābhogga refers to: 1. royal, in the service of the king, in foll. phrases: rāja-bhoggaṃ raññā dinnaṃ rāja-dāyaṃ brahma-deyyaṃ D. I, 87, of a flourishing place. Dial. I. 108 translates “with power over it as if he were king, ” and explains with: “where the king has proprietary rights. ” The C. rather unmeaningly explains as “rāja-laddha” (DA. I, 245). The BSk. has a curious version of this phrase: “rājñā-agni- dattena brahmadeyyaṃ dattaṃ” (given by the king in the place of agni?) Divy 620.—Further at Vin. III, 221 in sequence rājā r-bhogga, brāhmaṇa, gahapatika, where the C. explains (on p. 222) as “yo koci rañño bhatta-vetan’āhāro. ” (We should be inclined to take this as No. 2.) — Thirdly, in stock phrase “rājâraha rājabhogga rañño aṅgan t’eva saṅkhaṃ gacchati, ” i.e. worthy of a king, imperial, he justifies the royal qualification, said of a thoroughbred horse at A. I, 244= II. 113; of a soldier (yodh’ājīva) at A. I, 284; of an elephant at J. II, 370 (where it is explained as “rāja paribhoga”). Also as “royal possessions” in general at DhA. I, 312. 13.—Fick, Soc. Gl. 99 does not help much, he takes it as “king’s official. ” — 2. royal, of royal power, one entitled to the throne. Either as bhogga, bhogiya (SnA 453) or (khattiyā) bhoja-rājāno (Sn. 553). Thus at Vin. III, 221, where it takes the place of the usual khattiya “royal noble” & Sn. 553, where it is combined (as bhoja rājano) with khattiyā. See also bhoja & cp. (antara) bhogika and rājañña.
Note: rājābhogga is a Pali compound consisting of the words rājā and bhogga.
Pali is the language of the Tipiṭaka, which is the sacred canon of Theravāda Buddhism and contains much of the Buddha’s speech. Closeley related to Sanskrit, both languages are used interchangeably between religions.
